BCFN Young Earth Solutions YES! Waste-free, regent - free and environmentally friendly combined technology for processing of fruit and vegetables Abstract: We propose a new complex, non-waste, environmentally friendly and reagent-free technology for processing vegetable raw materials and their waste, which can be successfully used in the production of juices, sauces, pastes, confectionery, bakery and pharmaceutical industry: • From the top layer of skin - flavedo can be obtained clean, high quality, with good yield (90 - 95%), expensive essential oil; • From the pulp of fruits and vegetables - squeezing juice and if necessary obtaining a clarified or concentrated juice by ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis methods; • From the bottom layer of the skin - the albedo and the remaining after squeezing juice pulp - without the cost of reagents, obtaining food fibers, in particular highesterified, high-quality, 3 times cheaper pectin and P-vitamin; • Acid and alkali necessary to isolate these products, and water to dilute the concentrated juice, in parallel, without any material costs in a single technological cycle can be obtained from sea water by electrodialysis: in the electrode chambers of electrodialyzer - acid and alkali, in the chambers of desalination - water, in concentration chambers - concentrate sea salt (pharm. drug); • The mass remaining after separation of pectin and P-vitamin - for animal feed.
